RAG-3DSG: Enhancing 3D Scene Graphs with Re-Shot Guided Retrieval-Augmented Generation
On the map: Retrieval-augmented generation → Multimodal RAG
Abstract (arXiv)
Open-vocabulary 3D Scene Graph (3DSG) can enhance various downstream tasks in robotics by leveraging structured semantic representations, yet current 3DSG construction methods suffer from semantic inconsistencies caused by noisy cross-image aggregation under occlusions and constrained viewpoints. To mitigate the impact of such inconsistency, we propose RAG-3DSG, which introduces re-shot guided uncertainty estimation. By measuring the semantic consistency between original limited viewpoints and re-shot optimal viewpoints, this method quantifies the underlying semantic ambiguity of each graph object. Based on this quantification, we devise an Object-level Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that leverages low-uncertainty objects as semantic anchors to retrieve more reliable contextual knowledge, enabling a Vision-Language Model to rectify the predictions of uncertain objects and optimize the final 3DSG. Extensive evaluations across three challenging benchmarks and real-world robot trials demonstrate that RAG-3DSG achieves superior recall and precision, effectively mitigating semantic noise to provide highly reliable scene representations for robotics tasks.
